ATP - Adenosine TriPhosphate

In what molecules have we seen nitrogenous bases?

• proteins

• nucleic acids

• lipids

The reason these bonds store energy like a spring is because each phosphate group has negatively charged oxygens.  If you put two or more negative charges near each other, what will they do?

• repel

• attract

Since each phosphate group repels each other, they will _________ each other when the bond between them is broken.  This releases energy.

• snap to

• bounce away from

What happens when a phosphate is released?

• Energy is released

• Energy is absorbed

How many phosphates does ADP have?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What happens in a hydrolysis reaction?

• a molecule is built

• a molecule is broken down

What happens in a dehydration reaction?

• a molecule is built

• a molecule is broken down

Where in a eukaryotic cell would ATP be produced?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

Where in a prokaryotic cell would ATP be produced?

• the nucleus

• the mitochondria

• the cytoplasm
